Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of parking management technology, and in particular to a parking guidance method, device and medium. Background Technology
[0002] With the modernization of cities, the construction scale of open parks such as science parks, industrial parks, and business districts continues to expand. Their supporting parking lots are generally characterized by large land areas, numerous parking spaces, and complex internal structures. Especially in scenarios involving corporate visitor reception, traditional parking management and guidance methods have gradually revealed many shortcomings and are unable to meet actual usage needs.
[0003] First, visitor vehicles typically lack effective parking guidance after entering the parking lot and cannot obtain real-time information on available parking spaces. They are forced to blindly search for spaces within the area, leading to low parking efficiency and congestion during peak hours, disrupting overall traffic flow. Second, after parking, visitors are unfamiliar with the parking lot environment and struggle to quickly locate key locations such as elevator entrances, stairwells, safety exits, and access points, easily getting lost or wandering around, significantly reducing the visitor experience. Third, existing indoor navigation solutions mostly rely on real-time positioning technologies such as Bluetooth, UWB, and geomagnetic sensors, requiring the deployment of numerous beacons and sensors within the parking lot. This results in a complex system architecture and high initial and maintenance costs, making it difficult for parks with limited budgets to widely adopt. Furthermore, traditional visitor management models are rather crude, typically only registering and verifying visitor identities without effectively linking visitor management with parking resource management. This prevents refined allocation and control of visitor parking spaces, leading to problems such as visitors competing with internal staff vehicles for parking spaces, uneven distribution of parking resources, and low utilization rates. In summary, there are currently widespread problems such as insufficient parking guidance, difficulty in finding the way, high cost of navigation implementation, and a disconnect between visitor and parking space management. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a parking lot guidance method, device, and medium to address the aforementioned technical problems and solve at least one of the problems existing in the prior art.
[0005] Firstly, a parking lot guidance method is provided, including: Obtain visit requests for target users, and allocate target parking spaces to target users based on the visit requests; Based on the target parking space, retrieve the corresponding parking lot floor plan, mark the target parking space on the parking lot floor plan and generate a guidance path to obtain a static guidance map; The static navigation map is sent to the target user so that the target user can use the static navigation map to navigate to the parking space.
[0006] In one possible implementation, before retrieving the corresponding parking lot floor plan based on the target parking space, the method further includes: Obtain the parking lot floor plan corresponding to each parking floor or parking area of the target parking lot; Mark the allocable parking spaces and target key locations on each of the aforementioned parking lot floor plans, and store them; The target key locations include at least one of the following: elevator entrance, stairwell, safety exit, parking lot entrance / exit, payment terminal, pedestrian passage, and access nodes in the park or building.
[0007] In one possible implementation, retrieving the parking lot floor plan corresponding to the location of the target parking space, marking the target parking space on the parking lot floor plan, and generating a guiding route to form a static guide map includes: Based on the parking floor or parking area to which the target parking space belongs, retrieve the corresponding parking lot floor plan; Mark the target parking space on the parking lot floor plan, and generate guidance paths from the vehicle entrance to the target parking space and from the target parking space to each target key location to obtain the static guidance map.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the guidance path includes multiple paths, and the generation of the guidance path includes: Determine the path traffic priority corresponding to each guidance path. The path traffic priority includes at least one of path length, traffic efficiency, path congestion level, and importance of key target locations. Based on the path access priority, the optimal path is selected from multiple guidance paths as the final guidance path.
[0009] In one possible implementation, after generating the guide path, the method further includes: In the static guidance map, obstacles, construction areas, or temporary traffic control sections in the guidance path are marked; When the guide path is impassable due to an abnormal situation, an alternative guide path is automatically regenerated, and the alternative path and the abnormal area are highlighted in the static guidance map. A path error message is pushed to the target user. The path error message includes the reason for the path change and information on alternative paths.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the visit request includes either a visitor appointment request initiated by the target user or a corporate invitation request initiated by an internal staff member; the allocation of a target parking space to the target user based on the visit request includes: The visit request is verified, and an appointment work order is generated when the visit request passes verification. Based on the reservation work order, obtain the parking space occupancy status of the target parking lot; Based on the parking space usage status, a target parking space is allocated to the target user.
[0011] In one possible implementation, sending the static guide map to the target user includes: Generate an electronic pass that includes the static guide map and target parking space information; The electronic pass is sent to the target user so that the target user can perform vehicle parking operations based on the electronic pass.
[0012] In one possible implementation, after sending the electronic pass to the target user, the method further includes: When the target user enters the controlled area of the target parking lot, the electronic access pass of the target user is obtained; The target parking space information and reservation information in the electronic access pass are matched and verified with the current parking space status of the parking lot; Once the verification is successful, the static guide map corresponding to the target user will be automatically activated to display the guidance path from the current entrance location to the target parking space and from the target parking space to each target key location.
[0013] Secondly, a parking lot guidance device is provided, comprising: A visit request acquisition unit is used to acquire visit requests for target users and allocate target parking spaces to target users based on the visit requests; A static guidance map generation unit is used to retrieve the corresponding parking lot floor plan based on the target parking space, mark the target parking space on the parking lot floor plan and generate a guidance path to obtain a static guidance map.

In this embodiment, by reserving and allocating parking spaces and generating a static guidance map based on the parking lot floor plan, no additional hardware deployment is required. This allows visitors to quickly reach their designated parking spaces and easily find key locations such as elevator entrances and stairwells. It effectively solves the problems of low parking efficiency, easy visitor getting lost, high navigation costs, and inefficient parking space management in traditional park parking lots. While significantly improving parking and traffic efficiency and visitor experience, it also significantly reduces system construction and maintenance costs, achieving refined and efficient linkage control of visitor management and parking space resources.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0019] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a parking lot guidance method is provided, including the following steps: In step S110, a visit request for a target user is obtained, and a target parking space is allocated to the target user based on the visit request; Optionally, the system can be pre-configured with a visitor reservation and parking space allocation module. This module is used to interface with the enterprise invitation system or an independent visitor reservation platform to receive reservation information such as visitor name, contact information, license plate number, visiting enterprise, and arrival time. This module can be built into or connected to an external parking management system to maintain and manage the pool of available visitor parking spaces. It can automatically or manually allocate designated available visitor parking spaces to users based on their reservation information such as arrival time, and generate parking space allocation records containing parking space number, parking lot floor, and location information, thereby achieving unified management and accurate matching of visitor user information and parking space resources.
[0020] In practice, target users can initiate a visit request through a mobile webpage, mini-program, or application within the visitor reservation platform based on their visit needs. This request can carry information such as the target user's identity, the visiting company's information, the reservation time slot, and the target parking lot's identifier. Upon receiving the visit request, the visitor reservation and parking allocation module parses the request information and, based on the target parking lot's identifier, retrieves parking space occupancy information, the number of available parking spaces, visitor parking space area divisions, and real-time parking space availability status from the parking management platform, parking space monitoring database, or backend server to obtain accurate and complete parking space availability information.
[0021] Alternatively, company staff can initiate an invitation request by entering visitor names, contact information, license plate numbers, and other information into the company's invitation system. The system backend then parses the invitation request through the visitor reservation interface and obtains information on parking space occupancy, the number of available parking spaces, visitor parking space area division, and real-time parking space usage status from the parking management platform, parking space monitoring database, or backend server through the visitor reservation and parking space allocation module. This provides accurate and complete parking space usage status information.
[0022] In addition, a parking management system can be pre-built into or connected to the visitor reservation and parking space allocation module to maintain an "allocable visitor parking space pool." This pool includes all currently available visitor parking spaces in the parking lot and can be dynamically updated in real time to reflect the parking space status. Upon receiving a target user's visit request and the real-time parking space occupancy status of the target parking lot, the system automatically matches and allocates a unique and definite available parking space as the target user based on information such as the visit time, reservation duration, parking area corresponding to the visited company, and visitor type in the reservation request, combined with the real-time occupancy status of the available visitor parking space pool and preset allocation rules. After allocation, the system synchronously updates the status of the target parking space to "reserved" and generates a parking space allocation record containing the parking space number, floor, area location, and reservation validity period. This allows for the subsequent generation of a corresponding static guide map based on the target parking space, achieving refined and orderly management of parking resources.
[0023] In step S120, the corresponding parking lot floor plan is retrieved based on the target parking space, the target parking space is marked on the parking lot floor plan and a guidance path is generated to obtain a static guidance map; Optionally, after the target parking space is allocated, the static guidance map generation module can retrieve a matching parking lot floor plan from pre-stored map data based on the parking floor, parking area, or specific location information of the target parking space. On the retrieved parking lot floor plan, the allocated target parking space is highlighted (e.g., marked with a striking color, flashing effect, or special icon) so that the target user can intuitively identify the parking space location. At the same time, driving guidance routes are generated with the parking lot vehicle entrance as the starting point and the target parking space as the ending point, as well as driving guidance routes generated with the target parking space as the starting point and key target locations such as elevator entrances, stairwells, safety exits, payment terminals, and access nodes in the park or building as the ending points. Combined with the target user's final destination, walking guidance routes are generated (e.g., showing on the map that go straight for 20 meters and turn left to enter passenger elevator No. 1, which is closest to the final destination). By integrating the marked parking lot floor plan with the above guidance routes, a static guidance map suitable for visitor parking and in-park navigation is finally formed.
[0024] It should be noted that the static navigation map may include a global navigation map and / or a local navigation map. The global navigation map refers to a complete site plan map of the parking lot floor where the target parking space is located, or a complete site plan map of all floors of the target parking lot. It can display the overall parking space distribution, passageway direction, all key locations, and the entire passage route of the floor or each floor, so that users can have a comprehensive understanding of the parking lot layout. The local navigation map refers to a simplified map that only includes the current entrance, the target parking space, and the key path between the two. It can highlight the core navigation area, simplify visual information, and allow users to quickly identify the driving route without having to view the entire site. It balances display clarity and navigation intuitiveness, and meets the viewing habits and actual navigation needs of different users.
[0025] In practical use, users can flexibly switch between the global and local navigation maps based on their hierarchical switching operations. They can also switch between different levels of the navigation map within the global map, such as switching from B1 to B2. Users can freely choose the navigation mode according to their viewing needs: when they need to understand the overall layout of the parking lot, the direction of the passageways, and key surrounding locations, they can switch to the global navigation map for a comprehensive overview; when they only need to focus on the current driving route and quickly locate the target parking space, they can switch to the local navigation map for a simplified display. This hierarchical switching achieves a balance between a global view and precise local navigation, further improving the usability of the navigation map and the user experience.
[0026] In addition, the data storage module can store data such as parking lot floor plan, parking space configuration data, visitor reservation records, parking space allocation records, and static guide maps for later retrieval.
[0027] In step S130, the static navigation map is sent to the target user so that the target user can use the static navigation map to navigate to the parking space.
[0028] Optionally, after generating a static guide map corresponding to the target user, the static guide map, along with the assigned target parking space information (such as parking space number, floor, etc.), visitor basic information (such as name, visiting company, arrival time, etc.), location, etc., is encapsulated and integrated into a unique electronic pass. This pass can then be sent to the target user's terminal device via SMS, email, mini-program message, or QR code. The target user can view and use the static guide map on their terminal device and drive directly to the corresponding parking space according to the marked target parking space location and the guided path on the map, without having to blindly search for a parking space in the parking lot, thereby improving parking efficiency and enhancing the user experience.
[0029] For example, suppose company A in a certain park invites target user B to visit. The park property management uploads the floor plan of the underground parking lot B1 level in advance through the map configuration and management module of this system, and completes the division of visitor parking space areas and the marking of key locations. The visitor parking spaces are numbered V001-V050, and the locations of the three elevator halls E1, E2, and E3 are also marked. Company A's administrative staff enters visitor information such as the name, contact information, and license plate number of target user B in the enterprise visit invitation system. The system background calls the visitor reservation interface of this invention to initiate a visit request. After receiving the visit request, the visitor reservation and parking space allocation module of this system automatically allocates parking space V023, which is closest to the E2 elevator hall leading to Company A, from the available visitor parking space pool according to the visit time, visit location, and other information carried in the visit request, and locks the parking space. The static wayfinding map generation module retrieves the pre-stored B1 floor plan based on the assigned parking space information (V023). It highlights parking space V023 in green on the plan, generating driving directions from the parking lot entrance to V023 and walking directions from V023 to the E2 elevator lobby. The E2 elevator lobby icon is also enlarged and highlighted, completing the generation of the customized static wayfinding map. Subsequently, the visitor pass generation and sending module integrates the static wayfinding map, parking space information, and reservation information to generate an electronic visitor pass, which is sent to the target user B's mobile terminal via SMS. The SMS includes a welcome message, the reserved parking space (B1 floor - V023), and a link to access the static wayfinding map. After driving into the B1 floor of the Science Park underground parking lot, target user B can quickly locate and park in parking space V023 using the customized static wayfinding map and parking space information on their mobile phone. They can then conveniently reach the E2 elevator lobby by following the walking directions on the map, and subsequently arrive at Company A. The entire process achieves fast and accurate parking and passage without the need for manual guidance.
[0030] This application provides a parking lot guidance method, comprising: obtaining a visit request for a target user and allocating a target parking space to the target user based on the visit request; retrieving a corresponding parking lot floor plan based on the target parking space, marking the target parking space on the parking lot floor plan and generating a guidance path to obtain a static guidance map; and distributing the static guidance map to the target user so that the target user can navigate to the parking space based on the static guidance map. This application embodiment, by reserving and allocating parking spaces and generating a static guidance map based on the parking lot floor plan, guides visitors to quickly reach designated parking spaces and easily find key locations such as elevator entrances and stairwells without additional hardware deployment. This effectively solves the problems of low parking efficiency, easy visitor getting lost, high navigation costs, and inefficient parking space management in traditional park parking lots. While significantly improving parking and traffic efficiency and visitor experience, it also significantly reduces system construction and maintenance costs, achieving refined and efficient linkage control of visitor management and parking space resources.
[0031] See Figure 2 In one embodiment of this application, before retrieving the corresponding parking lot floor plan based on the target parking space, the method further includes: In step S210, a parking lot floor plan corresponding to each parking floor or parking area of the target parking lot is obtained; In step S220, allocable parking spaces and target key locations are marked on each of the parking lot floor plans and stored. The target key locations include at least one of the following: elevator entrance, stairwell, safety exit, parking lot entrance / exit, payment terminal, pedestrian passage, and access nodes in the park or building.
[0032] Optionally, property or park management personnel can collect and obtain parking lot floor plans corresponding to different parking floors, parking zones, or functional areas within the target parking lot, based on the actual building structure of the parking lot. These floor plans can be images in JPG, PNG, or other formats, clearly reflecting the road layout, parking space divisions, passageway directions, and the location information of key facilities within the parking lot, such as elevator entrances, stairwells, safety exits, parking lot entrances / exits, payment terminals, pedestrian walkways, and access nodes within the park or building. The collected floor plans are then uploaded to the map configuration and management module. Management personnel can use the graphical editing interface provided by the module to add, configure, and label relevant information on the floor plans, including but not limited to: defining visitor parking areas and assigning a unique number to each parking space; adding standardized or custom icons for elevators, staircases, safety exits, entrances / exits, payment machines, and disabled parking spaces; and using arrows, color blocks, or lines to identify or label main passageways and different floor areas.
[0033] It should be noted that after uniformly marking the reservable parking spaces and key access locations on each parking lot floor plan, the processed parking lot floor plans are stored on the system server or local database for quick retrieval, loading, and use based on the parking space allocation results.
[0034] In one embodiment of this application, the step of retrieving the parking lot floor plan corresponding to the location of the target parking space, marking the target parking space on the parking lot floor plan, generating a guiding path, and forming a static guiding map includes: Based on the parking floor or parking area to which the target parking space belongs, retrieve the corresponding parking lot floor plan; Mark the target parking space on the parking lot floor plan, and generate guidance paths from the vehicle entrance to the target parking space and from the target parking space to each target key location to obtain the static guidance map.
[0035] Optionally, based on the parking floor, parking zone, or specific location information of the target parking space assigned to the target user, the corresponding parking lot floor plan is accurately retrieved from the map database pre-collected, labeled, and stored by the system. On the retrieved parking lot floor plan, the target parking space is prominently and uniquely marked so that the target user can intuitively identify the location of the parking space. At the same time, at least two sets of guidance paths are automatically generated on the floor plan. One set is a driving guidance path from the parking lot vehicle entrance to the target parking space to guide the vehicle to the designated parking space smoothly. The other set is a walking guidance path from the target parking space to various key target locations such as elevator entrances, stairwells, safety exits, parking lot entrances and exits, payment terminals, pedestrian passages, and access nodes in the park or building to assist visitors in quickly finding their way. By merging the parking space mark and the above guidance paths on the same floor plan, a static guidance map specifically for the current target user can be formed and can be directly used for parking and in-park navigation.
[0036] In one embodiment of this application, the guidance path includes multiple paths, and the generation of the guidance path includes: Determine the path traffic priority corresponding to each guidance path. The path traffic priority includes at least one of path length, traffic efficiency, path congestion level, and importance of key target locations. Based on the path access priority, the optimal path is selected from multiple guidance paths as the final guidance path.
[0037] Optionally, the plannable guidance routes within the parking lot may include multiple alternative routes. The process of generating guidance routes specifically includes: firstly, determining the route priority for each guidance route by comprehensively considering various influencing factors. The determination of route priority is based on at least one of the following: route length, traffic efficiency, real-time or historical route congestion level, and importance of the target key location. After calculating and sorting the traffic priorities of each route, based on the set priority rules, multiple guidance routes can be scored, sorted, and filtered to select the optimal route with the highest traffic efficiency and best suited to the current target user's needs as the final guidance route. At the same time, the guidance route can be dynamically updated according to the real-time traffic status, temporary control, parking space changes, or key location adjustments within the parking lot to ensure that a stable, reliable, and optimal parking and wayfinding route can be provided to the target user in different scenarios.
[0038] The priority rules can assign different weights or priority levels to factors such as path length, traffic efficiency, congestion level, and the importance of key target locations based on the actual application scenario. For example, routes with shorter path lengths, higher traffic efficiency, and lower congestion probability can be prioritized.
[0039] In one embodiment of this application, the generation of the guidance path includes: Obtain the user type of the target user, wherein the user type includes at least one of regular visitors, accessible visitors, and VIP visitors; Based on the user type, a corresponding guidance path is generated.
[0040] Optionally, the system obtains the user type of the current target user. This user type can be differentiated based on appointment information, visitor identity, or permission settings, including at least one of regular visitors, accessible visitors, and VIP visitors. The system generates customized guidance routes for each user type based on their travel habits, route requirements, and service levels. For example, it plans accessible pathways and smooth routes for accessible visitors, dedicated lanes or convenient entrance / exit routes for VIP visitors, and regular and efficient routes for regular visitors. This makes the generated guidance routes more targeted and user-friendly, meeting the actual needs of different visitors and improving the overall adaptability and experience of the guidance service.
[0041] In one embodiment of this application, after generating the guidance path, the method further includes: In the static guidance map, obstacles, construction areas, or temporary traffic control sections in the guidance path are marked; When the guide path is impassable due to an abnormal situation, an alternative guide path is automatically regenerated, and the alternative path and the abnormal area are highlighted in the static guidance map. A path error message is pushed to the target user. The path error message includes the reason for the path change and information on alternative paths.
[0042] Optionally, after generating the guidance route and loading it into the static guidance map, the system further monitors and visualizes the route's traffic status in real time. Specifically, the system will clearly and prominently mark obstacles, construction areas, temporary traffic control sections, or other areas affecting traffic within the current guidance route's area on the static guidance map, so that target users can be aware of these areas in advance and avoid them appropriately. When the system detects congestion, closure, or blockage in the designated route through parking space monitoring equipment, backend management configuration, or real-time reporting, it will immediately and automatically replan and generate a safe and passable alternative route according to preset route priorities and traffic rules. Simultaneously, the abnormal area, the original route, and the new alternative route will be highlighted in the static guidance map to ensure users can easily distinguish them. Furthermore, the system will instantly push route anomaly alerts to target users via mobile messages and pop-ups. These alerts include the reason for the route change, detour reminders, explanations of the new route, and traffic precautions. This ensures continuous, stable, and safe parking and in-park guidance services even in complex or temporarily changing scenarios, significantly improving the system's adaptability and user experience.
[0043] In one embodiment of this application, before obtaining the visit request for the target user and allocating a target parking space to the target user based on the visit request, the method further includes: Obtain a visit request, which may include either a visitor appointment request initiated by the target user or a corporate invitation request initiated by an internal staff member; The visit request is verified, and an appointment work order is generated when the visit request passes verification. Based on the reservation work order, the step of obtaining the parking space usage status of the target parking lot is triggered.
[0044] Optionally, a visit request can be obtained, which can cover two initiation modes, and can be either one of the two modes. Specifically, it includes: a visitor reservation request initiated by the target visitor as the subject (which may include visitor identity information, contact information, license plate number, estimated visit time and target visit subject information, etc.), or a corporate invitation request initiated by staff within the park or building (including property management personnel, corporate administrative personnel, and authorized personnel of the visited department) (which may include invited visitor information, visited person information, visit time, visit reason and parking space allocation preference information, etc.). Both reservation modes can trigger the subsequent parking space allocation and guidance process, adapting to the usage needs of different visitor scenarios, and taking into account the convenience of visitors' self-operation and the standardization of corporate internal invitations. After receiving a visit request, the system can perform compliance checks on the request. These checks include, but are not limited to, the completeness of the appointment information, the validity of the appointment time slot, the legality of the visitor's identity, and the validity of the internal staff's invitation permissions. For visitor appointment requests, the system verifies whether core information such as the license plate number and visit time slot are completely filled in, eliminating invalid and duplicate appointments. For enterprise invitation requests, the system further verifies the initiator's system operation permissions and the recipient's reception status to prevent unauthorized invitations and unauthorized parking space occupation (if the recipient lacks reception permissions or is off-duty or on leave, the invitation is automatically rejected and an error notification is sent to the initiator). Once a visit request passes all checks and is confirmed, the system automatically generates a uniquely identified appointment ticket. This appointment ticket records core appointment information, including appointment type, appointment time slot, visitor association information, and parking space allocation requirements. Then, based on the reservation work order generated after verification, the system can automatically trigger the subsequent steps of obtaining the parking space usage status of the target parking lot, retrieve the real-time parking space vacancy data and lock the parking space occupancy data for the time period, and then allocate a dedicated target parking space for this reservation based on the parking space usage status, avoiding parking space conflicts and achieving seamless connection between the reservation process and the parking space allocation and guidance process.
[0045] It should be noted that the system can receive batch visitor information import commands, generate multiple invitation work orders with one click, and allocate centralized parking spaces on the same floor or in adjacent areas for all invited visitors based on the batch visit time period. Simultaneously, it generates a corresponding number of personalized static wayfinding maps, which are then uniformly pushed to the inviter or distributed to the corresponding visitors. The static wayfinding map can also additionally mark the elevator exits and pedestrian access points of the building where the visited entity is located, optimizing the dedicated guidance path from parking spaces to the target visit area.
[0046] In addition, after a visitor successfully makes a reservation, a reminder can be sent to the visitor at a preset time before their visit. The reminder includes information about the target parking space, a quick access map on a static guide map, and a location indicator for the parking lot. Once a visitor's reservation or a company's invitation is completed, if the visitor cancels the reservation in advance, the inviter cancels the invitation, or the visitor fails to arrive within the preset time, the system can automatically release the allocated target parking space and update the parking space's occupancy status to vacant.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the step of sending the static guide map to the target user includes: In step S310, an electronic pass containing the static guide map and target parking space information is generated; In step S320, the electronic pass is sent to the target user so that the target user can perform vehicle parking operations based on the electronic pass.
[0048] Optionally, after generating a static guide map for the current target user, the system integrates and encapsulates this static guide map with relevant information such as the target parking space number, parking floor, specific area location, reservation validity period, and parking lot entry instructions through the visitor credential generation and sending module. This generates an electronic access pass that integrates map guidance, parking space information, and access permissions. Subsequently, the system simultaneously sends the electronic access pass to the target user's terminal device via one or more methods, such as SMS, WeChat mini-program, official account message, APP push, or visitor reservation platform. The target user can directly present and use the electronic access pass on-site, quickly enter the parking lot, drive, and accurately complete the vehicle parking operation based on the static guide map and parking space information. This achieves intelligent, paperless, and convenient management of the entire process from reservation and guidance to parking.
[0049] like Figure 4 As shown in one embodiment of this application, after sending the electronic access pass to the target user, the method further includes: In step S410, when the target user enters the controlled area of the target parking lot, the electronic access pass of the target user is obtained; In step S420, the target parking space information and reservation information in the electronic access pass are matched and verified with the current parking space status of the parking lot; In step S430, after the verification is passed, the static guidance map corresponding to the target user is automatically activated to display the guidance path from the current entrance location to the target parking space and from the target parking space to each target key location.
[0050] Optionally, after sending the electronic access pass to the target user, the system further realizes intelligent connection of the entire process of entry recognition, pass verification and map activation. When a target user drives into the parking lot's controlled area or enters the recognition range of gates or access control systems with a mobile device, the system automatically acquires and parses the target user's electronic access pass through license plate recognition, Bluetooth sensing, QR code scanning, or near-field communication. The system then matches and verifies the consistency of information such as the target parking space number, reservation time, and visitor identity within the pass with the parking lot's real-time parking space status and reservation records to ensure the parking space is not occupied, the reservation is valid, and the information is accurate. After successful verification, the system automatically activates and loads a corresponding static guidance map specifically for the user. Based on the user's current actual entrance location, the system dynamically displays driving directions from the entrance to the target parking space, as well as walking directions from the target parking space to key locations such as elevator entrances, stairwells, safety exits, payment terminals, and park access points. This achieves a seamless connection from entry verification to precise guidance, providing visitors with a more efficient, seamless, and smooth parking guidance experience.
[0051] In this embodiment, by reserving and allocating parking spaces and generating a static guide map based on the parking lot floor plan, visitors can be guided to their designated parking spaces quickly and easily find key locations such as elevator entrances and stairwells without the need for additional hardware deployment. This effectively solves the problems of low parking efficiency, easy visitor getting lost, high navigation costs, and extensive parking space management in traditional park parking lots. While significantly improving parking and traffic efficiency and visitor experience, it also significantly reduces system construction and maintenance costs, achieving refined and efficient linkage control of visitor management and parking space resources.
